Hi Bob,
As I understand it the issue here is that you are making a VPN connection
to your work thought a Windows 2000 VPN server. Your local IS department is
telling you need to supply your domain information to access resources on
the office network.
As a point of clarification Windows XP Home Edition can not join a domain,
this ability was removed for the Home Edition SKU. You really should not
have to join your home computer to your work domain for this to work
either. What you will need to do is when you connect to the VPN and are
prompted for your credentials the username should be in the form of <Domain
Name>\<Username> and the password is your usual network password. This
should pass your domain credentials to the VPN server and allow you to
access domain resources via the VPN connection.
